I am the Executioner Dragon, but a cute mod

[If I could continue living this peaceful life, it wouldn't be so bad...]

However, it will take some time before she can live such a life. Lilith promised the main god, the orb of light, that she would help him conquer this world, and she can't go back on her word.

After regaining her composure, Lilith reached out and groped around on the bed, finally grabbing her metal personal terminal and habitually opening the forums and communities.

Lilith had prepared herself for a barrage of criticism, but while browsing through the comments, she discovered that the increasingly intense voices that seemed to be condemning her had vanished without a trace in the time it takes to eat a meal.

Lilith frowned slightly, countless ideas flashing through her mind, but she couldn't find the cause of this phenomenon.

[Could it be that an invisible force is at work?]

With that in mind, Lilith decided to look for clues in the forum. As soon as she entered the forum, she noticed a red dot on the message interface.

As someone with mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, Lilith naturally couldn't stand the red dot, so she reached out her finger and tapped into the message interface.

Among them, there were no overwhelming negative reviews, only a stranger's @ comment.

This person is none other than Superman Daddy, who has over a million fans across the internet and a 51% approval rating.

"Superman Daddy? How come it's him? I have absolutely no connection with him, why would he tag me? Could it be that the disappearance of the negative comments is related to Superman Daddy?"

Lilith guessed, and naturally followed the message, clicking into a post that Superman's dad had made not long ago...

Chapter 37: Superman's Daddy Steps In to Save His Reputation

Daddy Superman has been voted the most popular hero for thirty consecutive years, with his approval rating consistently above 50%. What does that mean? It means that fifty out of every hundred people are his fans.

The most obvious manifestation of Superman's influence is that within five minutes of his post, it received over three million views, which is an extremely terrifying number.

When Lilith clicked on the post, she noticed that the posting time of five minutes ago did not match the high number of likes and reposts, and she wondered if she was seeing things.

Lilith rubbed her eyes, and after a few seconds, she looked again, only to find incredulously that it wasn't a hallucination, and exclaimed in surprise:

"Is this the popularity of Daddy Superman? It's terrifying. If I had that kind of popularity, I could definitely complete side quest one in no time..."

Lilith sighed, then stopped thinking about it and began to carefully read Superman's dad's post, the contents of which were as follows:

Regarding the recent outcry from netizens against @DragonKnight, I did a brief look and found that the issues can be roughly divided into two categories.

The first category is that some people accuse the dragon knights of disregarding losses and casualties in their battles with the behemoths, and of putting on a show on the battlefield to increase their fame.

The second category of opinions is that the Dragon Knight clearly possessed the power to instantly kill an S-class behemoth, yet failed to arrive at the scene immediately, causing unnecessary casualties and losses...

Regarding the first question, I would like to say that heroes are also human beings, with emotions and desires, and it is normal for them to have their own hobbies.

They are protecting the people with their lives. The people may not express gratitude, but at least they should not make malicious speculations, as that would only chill the hearts of the heroes.

The second question is also a recurring topic, and I don't know how many times I've said it, but I'll say it again.

First of all, no matter how strong a hero is, they will have their own weaknesses. The Dragon Knight has the ability to instantly kill S-class behemoths, but that does not mean she has the ability to rush to the battlefield instantly. Therefore, this accusation is completely unfounded.

As for the damage caused by her battle with the behemoth, it goes without saying that if she hadn't stepped forward, the destruction caused by the behemoth would have been thousands or even tens of thousands of times greater...

Please stop this farce. Don't let those with ulterior motives sway your emotions and become a weapon aimed at the protectors. Open your eyes wide!

Upon seeing this long passage, Lilith's first reaction was bewilderment. After regaining her senses, she scanned the post several more times and discovered that it was full of biased support for the author.

Superman's dad practically said, "I've got this guy under my protection, no one else can get in the picture."

Lilith was initially touched by this kindness, but she didn't know Superman's father at all. In fact, she only knew who Superman's father was through Adeline's explanation.

It was this complete stranger who stepped forward to speak up for Lilith at this critical moment and single-handedly ended the farce.

"So why? He has nothing to do with me, so why would he help me? Could it be... that he has ulterior motives towards me?"

Lilith let her imagination run wild. Because she often surfed the internet, countless melodramatic scenarios popped into her mind in a short time, such as what it would be like to have a superhero's long-lost daughter, or a domineering superhero falling in love with her, and so on.

In short, in order to guess Superman's father's motives, Lilith considered almost every possibility until a very obvious life signal entered her perception range, which made her stop thinking.

Almost instantly, Lilith focused her mind and locked onto the guy approaching her at several times the speed of sound. What she saw shocked her.

The newcomer was dressed in a blue and white combat suit and a red cape. His highly recognizable full beard was exactly the same as the Superman Daddy avatar on the forum.

"Superman's dad? What does he want with me? Could I really be his long-lost daughter?!"

Lilith was somewhat surprised, but she quickly suppressed this absurd thought. It wasn't that she didn't want to think about it anymore, but in that short time, Daddy Superman had already arrived at her doorstep.

dong dong dong.

Three knocks, neither too loud nor too soft, sounded, like an invisible hand pulling Lilith to the doorway.

Lilith sighed. Although she didn't want to meet Superman's dad without any preparation, the situation seemed to leave her no choice but to accept.

Lilith then placed her hand on the doorknob and opened the door, where she saw a burly figure about 1.9 meters tall standing there, almost completely blocking out the light.

At such close range, Lilith had to raise her head to see that imposing face.

When Lilith first met Superman's dad, her first impression of him was that he was very strong. He was 1.9 meters tall and his body was full of muscles. His forearms were even thicker than Lilith's waist.

If we disregard his actual strength, Superman's dad seems like the kind of guy who could kill Lilith with a single punch, making him incredibly intimidating.

And now, this pinnacle of heroism stood before Lilith, and the first thing he said was:

"Hello, may I come in and sit for a while?"

Superman's father spoke in a very gentle tone, without any sense of command or condescension. Instead, he sounded like a kind old neighbor who wanted to improve his relationship with his neighbor.

"Come in."

Lilith had no reason to refuse the request, so she agreed and stepped aside to let Daddy Superman in.

When Daddy Superman arrived in the living room and casually sat down on a chair, the noise he made made Amelia peek out from the kitchen.

When Amelia saw this stranger appear in her and Lilith's home, she blinked, her eyes full of question marks.

However, upon seeing Lilith, Amelia realized that this guy was Lilith's guest, and in order not to disturb the two of them, she quickly retreated to the kitchen and became part of the background...

When Lilith arrived in the living room, she didn't directly ask Superman's father why he was there, but instead probed:

"Are you Daddy Superman? I never thought I would actually see you in person. I've always admired you."

Lilith's intention was to pretend to be a fan of Superman's father to lower his guard, but to her surprise, Superman's father saw through her intentions and bluntly said:

"I think you should know why I've come—to have a heart-to-heart talk."

Upon hearing this, Lilith's mind went blank; she hadn't expected her father, Superman, to be so direct.

Just as he was about to explain, Superman's father, noticing his hesitation, slowly spoke:

"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm. I'm here just to talk to you about how to become a hero..."

You became a hero because you wanted to be liked and recognized, right?

Upon hearing this, Lilith blinked and instinctively asked:

"How did you know?"

Superman's dad smiled kindly and said:

"It seems that from the beginning, people have taken it for granted that heroes should protect them, but they have forgotten that heroes are also human beings and need to be protected as well."

Moreover, because heroes fight on the front lines, they not only risk their lives to save people, but also witness various scenes of life and death, and often suffer both mental and physical torment.

Based on the mortality rate and the likelihood of mental illness among heroes, they are far more vulnerable than ordinary people. Therefore, heroes are the group that should be protected…

Chapter 38: Popularity Rises Again

“I’ve been following you ever since you killed your first behemoth and registered a social media account… Lilith.”

As Superman's father finished speaking, his dark eyes calmly looked at Lilith, as if he could see right through her, inside and out.

Lilith wasn't surprised that Superman knew her name; given Superman's status, obtaining personal information wouldn't be difficult.

Lilith's only question was why Daddy Superman, a veteran hero who had been famous for decades, would pay attention to her, since she was just a newcomer to the hero scene.

Is it really as he said, that heroes are the group that should be protected more, and that he is the hero of heroes?

With Superman's father right there, Lilith didn't choose to hide anything in order to find the answer, but instead spoke her mind directly:

"So in your eyes, shouldn't heroes protect ordinary people?"

After hearing this, Superman's dad chuckled:

"I think you may have misunderstood me. Heroes do have an obligation to protect ordinary people, but in my eyes, heroes are just like ordinary people. They are not perfect, they can get hurt, they can feel sad, and they can have their own hobbies."

Most heroes carry too heavy a burden, so I remind them to find a hobby to relax and not be constantly on edge; it's their right as human beings.

"I see..."

After hearing this, Lilith suddenly understood what kind of person Superman's dad was.

[No wonder Adeline likes Superman Daddy. As one of the five founders of League of Legends, he's completely down-to-earth and cares so much about the heroes under his command. Who wouldn't like a guy like that?]

Lilith sighed inwardly, finally understanding why, despite having no connection with Superman's father, he was willing to publicly help her dispel those doubts.

This is why Lilith couldn't help but feel a desire to know more about Superman's father, and asked:

"So, what made you choose to become a hero?"

"To become a hero...?"

Hearing this question, Superman's dad was clearly surprised. He hesitated for a few seconds, then lowered his eyes, a scene from many years ago seemingly flashing in his deep eyes:

"Since you want to know, there's no harm in telling you."

In my autobiography, I mentioned more than once that I am from Virgo, but I never told you what kind of planet I came from.

The people there practice extreme survival of the fittest. The weak have no place to survive. From birth, every stage of their lives is predetermined by standards. If they do not meet the standards, they will be forcibly executed as defective products.

Everyone thinks this is justified, but I don't. As the executioner of the weak, I personally kill hundreds of the weak every day. I can see the fear and resentment on their faces, and their cries constantly remind me that this is not civilization.

Extreme survival of the fittest is something only wild beasts do; true civilization should grant the weak the right to survive.

Realizing this, I seized an opportunity to defect from my home planet. Years later, I came to Earth, became a hero, and met my current love...

These candid words left Lilith stunned. When she came to her senses, she realized that after saying these words, a relaxed expression appeared on Daddy Superman's face.

These words must have been buried deep in his heart for a long time, which is why he chose to say them all at once when Lilith asked him.

Lilith didn't ask any further questions, and Superman's father didn't say anything more. After a few seconds of silence, Superman's father stood up and spoke:

"I've been here long enough, it would be impolite to stay any longer... See you another time."

Upon hearing this, Lilith nodded slightly:
